Prayer based on Proverbs 23:21. Themes: Discipline, Consequences, Laziness.

Dear Lord, please help me to avoid the temptation of excessive drinking and overindulging in food.

Please give me the strength to resist these temptations and to live a life of moderation and self-control. Help me to stay alert and focused, and to avoid the trap of drowsiness that can lead to poverty and rags. Thank you for your guidance and protection. Amen.
